History
In 1759, a post station of Tyukalinsky Stanets (Тюкалинский станец) existed on the Tyukala River in place of modern Tyukalinsk. It developed into the sloboda of Tyukalinskaya (Тюкалинская) in 1763. In 1823, it was granted town status, which was retracted in 1838, and reinstated in 1878. Tyukalinsk lost its commercial importance along with the Siberian Route after the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
